Marcus Stecher (Stecker) 1900
New York marriage
Grooms mother's name of Feige Markel is probably an error
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F6QN-CY2
Marcus Stecher - Sadie Albert marriage information
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F6QN-CY2
NB: The mother of Marcus Stecher is listed as Feige Markel
for New York Marriages.
This surname Markel may be an error and does not
match maiden surname Schmatz which is
listed in the JRI-Poland death record of Feige Stecher (Marcus/Mordche's
mother)
